Reincarnated into a Game as the Hero’s Friend - Chapter 20
“Welner, you’re really weird.”
“Don’t call me weird.”
I requested Luguentz to select the mercenaries and adventurers who are tight-lipped and used to traveling for an escort mission. We also agreed to inform Gekke-san too.
After I explained my purpose for looking for escorts to Luguentz and asked for his cooperation with Mazell, Luguentz said the famous game line ‘I’m looking forward to Mazell’s growth’ and left.
And now, Mazell started to call me weird.
“I only told the truth, you know. You’ve memorized towns’ position on the continent. As for me, I‘ve never even looked at a map.”
“I didn’t memorize all of them.”
Rather than ‘I didn’t memorize’, it’s more accurate to say ‘I forgot’. No one can perfectly remember the game they played 30 years ago.
Well, if it’s only the rough locations of towns where a game event happened or towns where you can buy some good equipment, I still remember them. It’s really just a rough location. Something around the level ‘go straight, turn left, turn right, then cross the river and you’re there!’ but it’s still better than nothing.
I remember complaining that the King didn’t even provide a map to the hero. I ended up relying on a strategy book, since at that time, the internet still didn’t exist.
When I came to this world, I was told that an accurate map is a national secret because making it known can be dangerous for the nation’s defense. That’s how I understand why the hero in the game isn’t given any map.
Still, having a map is important. That’s why I worked really really hard to dig through my memory and created a rough map of the continent.
When I began to create the map, I noticed that many towns aren’t featured in the game. Ah, no, it’s the opposite. Towns that are featured in the game are only the towns where some kind of game event will take place.
The Zeavert’s household county also didn’t appear in the game. I originally thought it was because it’s located in the countryside, but the real reason is probably that it has no relation to any game events.
There were also no events where the hero party greets the territory lord when they visited towns. As for an event that takes place in a territory lord’s mansion… there was one. It was in a town where the lord had been replaced by a devil.
Other towns where none of the game events take place are completely erased from the game by the developer. That’s why I’m not only relying on the game’s knowledge to create this map but also on my own knowledge after living in this world.
Luguentz mentioned that my map can be sold for quite a fortune. I don’t plan to sell it since I know it’s going to be troublesome.
“But Welner, where are we going to get the money?”
“My house will pay for it first. After that, I will make the kingdom fork out the money.”
“How can you even make the kingdom fork out money…”
Mazell commented with a wry smile. It’s an understandable reaction. But realistically, the kingdom will have no choice but to take action in the end.
I didn’t come up with this idea on my own. I consulted with my father and got his approval. It’s because I told him that it’s related to the Crown Prince’s request, though. As a minister, father knows about the demon king’s revival.
“Anyway, I’ll do my job here, so Mazell, you’d better work hard on your training.”
“All right.”
That’s right. Everything will end if the hero party defeats the demon king.
I kind of understand why people in a story often just wait for a hero to come. After all, it’s easier to just wait for a person that can just solve every troublesome thing rather than doing it yourself.
This kind of ‘waiting for hero’ mindset is for a good-for-nothing person. In a sense, I, who is also waiting for Mazell and his party to defeat the demon king, can perhaps be categorized as a good-for-nothing too. I don’t have any choice. I don’t have enough skill to defeat the demon king with Mazell and his party. If I try, I’m going to hinder them instead. That’s why, I’ll do what I can do here.
“If you go south until you reach a river and then go east, you will find a forest on your left side. Inside that forest, there’s a small old shrine. I heard demons often appeared in that shrine. How about testing your skill there?”
“Alright. It’s a good chance for me to train so I can be in sync with Luguentz-san. I’ll go there when I don’t have any classes.”
“Ok. Be careful.”
In the early game, that ancient shrine is the best farming spot. The drops aren’t great, but the encounter rate is high, so the amount of experience per minute is great compared to other early game farming spots.
By the way, in this world, a week is also divided into seven days. The name of the days is based on different kinds of activities. Those days are Farm & Fish, Trade, Blacksmith, Hunt & Rear, Art, Ritual, and Nativity. For some reason, forestry is included in the Hunt & Rear day.
Nativity day is equivalent to Sunday. There is also a belief that a certain day is auspicious to do a certain activity. For example, it’s auspicious to do a musical performance on Art day or wedding ceremonies on Ritual day. Welp, I went off the topic.
Anyway, while Mazell and Luguentz are busy getting real-world fighting experience, I need to solve several things.
“Hmm…”
The Crown Prince is lightly mulling over my document. Today is the Nativity day, a.k.a the Sunday where even the royalty is free, so I succeeded in meeting the Crown Prince.
Currently, I’m inside the Crown Prince’s office and in the midst of my one-on-one meeting with His Highness. The Crown Prince’s butler is here in the office, but since he didn’t participate in our meeting, he didn’t count. I know that I have no choice but to meet the Crown Prince alone this time, but I’m still nervous.
“I more or less understand your plan. Can I decide after seeing the actual thing?”
“Yes. Before that, I would like to obtain your approval first.”
“I understand. Good job on telling me this in advance.”
Of course, I’ll tell you, it’s necessary groundwork. It would be troublesome if someone complained during the plan. But really, is this particular game setting so unconventional as a Japanese one because it’s a Japanese game?
“But can you really get a high-quality weapon?”
“As far as I can tell, yes. Unfortunately, I did not know how many I could get.”
“That’s to be expected.”
In the past, I was always curious. The game started in the capital, but for some reason, the remote regions in those games sold weapons and armor that were of higher quality than in the capital.
I mean, who sent these kinds of weapons that were at least two ranks above the weapons available in the capital to the remote regions? Where could you even sell these weapons there? Who wanted to buy it there?
Then, when I came to this world, I learned a certain surprising fact. Those weapons or armor are the results of an ‘excavation’ a.k.a grave robbing.
Well, it isn’t illegal to sell excavated items in this world where ruins and labyrinths exist. But other than ruins and labyrinths, these items can be found in a mass graveyard.
This is because in the past, during the time of the previous demon king, the now-destroyed ancient kingdom had the custom to bury all the soldiers and the knights that were killed by the previous demon king in one mass grave with their equipment intact.
A large amount of equipment can be obtained if that mass graveyard is dug. Since the people being buried were all soldiers and knights, the equipment that can be obtained is a full set of equipment needed by armies.
Due to that, many towns and villages that specialized in selling those pieces of equipment popped out near the mass graveyard.
There was a time when I wondered if those pieces of equipment were cursed. But after I thought about it more, taking those equipment isn’t that much different than taking an adventurer’s equipment that died in a labyrinth exploration, so now I don’t think those excavated equipment are cursed.
Another thing that I used to wonder about is the shop that sold the excavated equipment. How did they survive by only selling expensive stuff? Then, I was told that this kind of shop is similar to the hardware store in my past life that mainly sold kitchen knives and pots and sold excavated equipment on the side.
It does feel strange hearing everyday stuff like kettles and pots being sold together with metal armors, but since it was a common practice in this world, I decided not to care about it.
Other than equipment, there are also rare items that can be excavated from the graves. Those items are grave goods. One of these items is the ‘demon calling flute’ that will pull you into forced combat… I don’t understand why the ancient kingdom even bothered to create these items.
(T/N: It means the stuff that is buried together with the deceased.)
I used to think that it was creepy to blow a flute that was dug out from a grave, but the one that blew the flute isn’t me but Mazell anyway, so who cares.
In the game, the flute has limited use. Not because the flute consumed a large amount of the game Mazell’s mana (it actually did consume a lot of mana, but that’s not the main reason), but because the flute is so old that it breaks with few uses. After it breaks, the player needs to buy it again from the store. I guess it might make sense… Or does it? Hmm…
“I approve, so give it a try.”
“Thank you.”
With this, I got official written permission from the Crown Prince. One work done. I won’t have to worry about any complications regarding permission in the future.
I also made another request to the Crown Prince. It’s regarding the reconstruction of the Veritza Fortress. I asked the Crown Prince to provide the people involved in the reconstruction works with tools for night communication like fire signals.
I told the Crown Prince that it was just in case demons attacked the fortress, but actually, I know that the demon will attack the fortress. For me to escape being thought of as a suspicious fortune teller, I didn’t tell the Crown Prince about the attack.
After I told the Crown Prince everything I needed to, I was told to immediately leave the room. I’m glad. It was more nerve-wracking than going to the CEO’s office in my past life. I guess that’s not strange. If it was a meeting with a CEO, the worst thing that can happen is getting fired, but with the Crown Prince, I can lose my life.

Side Effects of Trenbolone Acetate
Moreover, many illicitly manufactured steroids are sourced from the black market, posing risks of opposed reactions as a end result of tainted merchandise.
Anabolic steroids are synthetic hormones that mimic male hormones, notably testosterone.
They are also scientifically generally recognized as anabolic-androgenic steroids
(AAS). Authorized steroids may be purchased on-line from reputable suppliers
like Crazy Bulk.
These medication are based on testosterone and other androgenic steroid hormones similar to nandrolone and dihydrotestosterone (DHT).
Bodybuilders often overlook that they are taking super
risks when using these substances, even whether
it is to increase muscle mass. If you’re in search of secure and
efficient steroids in Australia, you’ve come to the right
place! Our on-line anabolic shop makes a speciality of
delivering steroids throughout Australia. Part of the testosterone is converted
to estrogen (as mentioned above), and a few synthetic androgens trigger such unwanted Side Effects of Trenbolone Acetate effects
as gynecomastia, increased tissue behind the nipple (commonly referred to as man boobs).
It generally looks naturally maturing in youngsters,
and a small portion of males.
Non-medical anabolic steroid use virtually tripled between 2001 and 2019,
in accordance with the Australian Nationwide Drug Technique Family Survey.
“So, we will see that to keep away from these emotions, probably, generally individuals will then begin up a steroid cycle once more.” Gus Cooke has been taking performance-enhancing medicine (PEDs) for many of his adult life.
Purchasing steroids from registered pharmacies
in Australia is essentially the most legal and most secure
option.
These critiques spotlight the standard of the merchandise, the effectiveness
of the steroids, and the reliability of the provider.
One of the key components that set GearManiac apart from different suppliers is their dedication to quality assurance.
All their products endure rigorous High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) checks.
These tests are essential in confirming the purity and potency of
the steroids, supplying you with peace of thoughts that you are getting exactly what you pay
for. HPLC testing is a gold normal in the pharmaceutical business for verifying the composition of
compounds, and GearManiac’s adherence to this follow underscores their
commitment to high quality.
Whereas gynecomastia can develop in patients with hyperprolactinemia, the situation arises secondary to the gonadotropin suppression prolactin could cause (203).
Such practice must be discouraged as a end result of
it is illogical and produces attainable unwanted effects corresponding
to cardiac abnormalities or arrhythmia. Elevated
progestin motion at the mammary gland can also be very unlikely to be a explanation for AAS-induced gynecomastia.
AAS don’t improve progesterone levels and solely a select few reveal vital progesterone receptor activation (205).
Moreover, no gynecomastia was noted in a 6-month hormonal male contraception examine combining administration of testosterone enanthate with the potent progestin levonorgestrel (0.5 mg daily) (183).
Some AAS users self-medicate with phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitors similar to sildenafil to counteract erectile dysfunction (65).
This class of medication inhibits the enzyme PDE5 which breaks
down cGMP – the second messenger molecule answerable for conveying the signal
of the cavernous nerve to induce an erection (195).
Secondly, no qualitative information about individuals’ personal motivations for steroid use was gathered;
therefore, the phenomenological expertise of Australian adolescent steroid use stays under-explored.
Future studies investigating this adolescent inhabitants could profit
from offering college students with links to surveys to complete at house,
or inside an surroundings exterior to high school, to regulate for this potential social desirability
bias. Additionally, it is advised that future studies employ longitudinal designs
to analyze the direction of causality of the above-mentioned AAS use correlates.
Furthermore, it is advised that qualitative research be carried
out to research the subjective experience and motivations of
adolescent AAS use and to establish whether or not
these align with the correlates highlighted in this
examine. A replication of this examine with more individuals would enable for an evaluation of the interaction between intercourse and sexual attraction, to check for the influence of
self-objectification in same-sex attracted males in contributing to AAS use.
Adolescence is a time of emotional turbulence, when teenagers are notably vulnerable
to sociocultural influences.
As suggested by Baxmann et al. (166), measuring serum cystatin C might be extra reliable to estimate GFR in healthy individuals with greater
muscle mass and potential mild kidney impairment.
Cystatin C is a protein that’s produced by all nucleated cells and is freely filtered at the glomerulus.
In Contrast with serum creatinine, serum cystatin C concentrations are less affected by
age, intercourse, race, and, most significantly, muscle
mass (167). One study so far has investigated the effect of
excessive dosages of AAS on serum cystatin C concentrations (168).
Serum creatinine and cystatin C concentrations have been measured in 57 present AAS users,
28 previous customers, and 52 non-AAS-using weightlifters.
Each parameters were significantly higher in current users than in nonusers.
Unfortunately, because of its cross-sectional setup, this study does not allow to deduce causality.
It’s technically not a steroid per se, but because it has comparable results,
it is used as such. After doing this due diligence
exercise, by now you want to have a much clearer idea about the sellers you’ve got evaluated.
It Is now time to look for reviews on forums devoted solely
to evaluate steroid sources, such as eroids.com.
Hold in mind that in such forums the top scores are bought, somewhat than earned.
Nonprescription doses are often 10 to one hundred times larger than the doses healthcare providers prescribe to deal with medical
conditions. This is why the side effects are often more extreme than the unwanted aspect effects
of prescribed anabolic steroid use. There isn’t any question that anabolic steroids carry therapeutic advantages for patients with HIV, liver illness, renal failure, some
malignancies, symptomatic hypogonadism, and burns.
But at present, the largest downside with these brokers is misuse.[34] Regardless Of
laws to limit the empirical prescription and dispensing of those agents, these medicines continue to be misused by many individuals,
especially athletes. Psychologically, steroid use can outcome
in dependancy, temper issues, and body image points.

There can also be an elevated danger of coronary heart illness because of elevated blood pressure and raised levels of cholesterol [2].
Most of the anabolic steroids used in the UK are
manufactured abroad and imported in the UK.
Some are purchased on-line; others are purchased overseas
by users and imported again in to the UK for personal use.
The relaxation are illegally imported in to the UK after which bought on by suppliers, especially via
Fitness Center circles [3]. Trenbolone is likely considered one of the harshest anabolic
steroids a bodybuilder can take, having devastating
effects on a user’s health, based on our checks. In follow,
we see testosterone resulting in barely less weight achieve
than Dianabol, however it’ll construct a similar quantity of lean muscle tissue.
The other main difference is that testosterone has a stronger response with the 5?-reductase enzyme, resulting in heightened ranges of DHT (3).
Round 3 to four million folks in the united states, however, use anabolic steroids with no prescription for
nonmedical functions, including as appearance- and performance-enhancing medicine (APEDs).
If you’re taking anabolic steroids exterior of a doctor’s care, you
might have critical unwanted effects that can have a negative impact on your health.
Speak to your doctor about potential treatment plans
when you’re nervous about misusing steroids.
Anabolic steroids are medication made in a lab that mimic
the naturally occurring male intercourse hormones
referred to as androgens. Anabolic steroid, drug that mimics the
male hormone testosterone in its capacity to extend the expansion of muscle tissue and in its promotion of male secondary sex characteristics.
Anabolic steroids are used medically in people to
treat a variety of circumstances, together with anemia, breast most cancers, hypogonadism,
brief stature, malnutrition, osteoporosis,
and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) losing syndrome.
The medicine are additionally utilized in veterinary medication (e.g., to aid recovery from hunger or injury).
Results of injectable and 17?-alkylated AAS on serum lipoproteins and cholesterol efflux capability.
Biochemically, this expresses itself in relatively
small elevations of blood aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH)
and gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT) (99) values. Not Often, AAS-induced hepatotoxicity might present itself in jaundice and pruritus (100, 101).
With such clinical shows, elevated bilirubin values are also to be anticipated.
Steroids are normally taken both by injecting them into the muscle tissue,
or by swallowing them in pill type. Hi-ground provides a comprehensive record
of generally used AAS injectables and orals in Australia. The probabilities you experience unwanted facet effects goes up the
longer you’re taking them, particularly if you use them
for a protracted time. Your supplier will help you perceive the risks and advantages
before you start any new medicine. For example, steroids might forestall the type of worsening of kidney irritation that can cause kidney failure in people who have autoimmune illnesses like lupus or vasculitis.
They may assist these people keep away from needing kidney dialysis or a transplant.
Any dose and frequency changes should keep the testosterone focus between 400 and seven-hundred ng/dL.
Nonetheless, some consultants advocate checking the peak testosterone ranges,
that are greatest obtained 2 days after an IM injection as soon as maintenance levels are
reached. The goal is to maintain the height degree within the middle third of the traditional range,
keep away from the potential toxicity of supernormal testosterone levels, and relieve the precise
symptom of hypogonadism that justified its use
initially. There isn’t any have to examine trough levels if the patient isn’t symptomatic.
Some folks use AASs illegally to boost muscle dimension, strength, and stamina or cut back
the time it takes to recuperate between exercises. If you inject anabolic steroids and share a
needle with others, you are at great risk of getting HIV, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C.
Bodybuilders and weight lifters are not the one athletes
to assume that anabolic steroid use is their street to success.
Athletes, from strength sports like football and throwing
the discus to hurry sports like observe sprinters and speed skaters, have attempted to use steroids to
enhance efficiency and enhance the effectivity of their coaching.
Chemists have manufactured many different sorts of anabolic steroids over the previous many
years. The objective of chemists is to advertise the anabolic impact of
the drug while reducing the androgenic unwanted effects that may be life-threatening.
Performance-enhancing medication are not only for bodybuilders or pro athletes who are prepared to strive unlawful and probably harmful means to enhance
their physique’s function.
They can additionally be so-called “designer” steroids which are
manufactured to pass drug tests, like norbolethone and desoxymethyltestosterone.
This record of side effects is incomplete; many extra effects have
been reported. Specialized drug references maintain for an entire list for each individual drug, including analysis of psychological effects of these drugs that contribute to rage assaults.
The time period “psychosis” signifies that an individual
can’t distinguish between what’s actual and what is not.
For instance, an individual may consider that different folks intend hurt when no
real risk exists; or an individual might consider that an impossible, life-threatening stunt may be carried out with no drawback.
The psychotic person can also expertise hallucinations, similar to listening to a voice
that is not there.
Statins might cause muscle pain in a small percentage of customers (152),
however this side impact would possibly happen extra regularly in those that interact in regular intense exercise
(153). For this group of sufferers, an expert panel recommends using hydrophilic statins (rosuvastatin and pravastatin) at a low-to-moderate dose,
as hydrophilic statins are thought to be more hepatoselective (153).
If the statin isn’t tolerated, it’s advisable to alter to a lipophilic statin (e.g.
simvastatin or atorvastatin), cut back the dose, or strive an alternate-day regimen (154).
If regardless of these makes an attempt statin intolerance stays an issue, other pharmacological choices, similar to ezetimibe or proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) inhibitors, ought
to be explored. Supraphysiological dosages of testosterone, a minimal of as much as 600 mg testosterone enanthate, didn’t have an result on serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA)
levels in each healthy young (15, 22) and older males (37).
They are used medically and non-medically to boost efficiency (mainly in sport).
Anavar will have a unfavorable effect on ldl cholesterol, causing a mild to moderate improve in blood stress.
Nevertheless, we discover this opposed impact to be significantly much less troublesome in comparison with the cardiotoxicity of other anabolic steroids.
